December 22 / NKJV 365 / Who Touched Me?

NKJV 365 Day Reading Plan

Day 356 of 365 "Who touched Me?" does not simply mean a physical touch, but rather, "Who touched me in faith?" Just as "the temple sanctifies the gold" (Mt 23:17), so also matter is sanctified by Christ's Incarnation, and the power of Christ works through even His garment. To touch Christ's garment in faith is to touch Him. In the Church, we touch Christ through icons, oil, water, bread, wine, etc. When this is done in faith, the power of Christ is received. Taken from The Orthodox Study Bible Luke 8:45 NASB 45 And Jesus said, "Who is the one who touched Me?" And while they were all denying it, Peter said, "Master, the people are crowding and pressing in on You."
